Brief summary
A 3-month single-arm pilot trial to evaluate the feasibility of an automated and individualized coping intervention among stroke survivors.
Interventions
DEVICEGoogle-Pixel Watch 3
The participant will wear Google-Pixel Watch 3 for at least 10 hours during the 3-month intervention and will receive goal reminders and motivational and coping messages through those watches. At baseline and after 3-months intervention, demographics (standard questionnaire pertaining to subjects' age, sex, race, education and income), technology literacy (eHealth Literacy Scale pertaining to subjects' ability to perform a number of tasks such as turning on the device, using internet and communication), and wearables affinity (pertains to how the subject currently uses wearable in their daily living tasks) will be measured.
BEHAVIORALExercise prompts
The participants will receive goal reminders.

Inclusion criteria
1. Adult Patients Diagnosed with Stroke: Participants must be adults (age ≥ 18) who have been clinically diagnosed with a stroke between 3 months and 3 years. 2. Community-Dwelling: Participants should be living independently in the community rather than in institutional settings such as nursing homes or hospitals. 3. Independently Mobile: Participants must be able to walk without any aid or assistance, corresponding to a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2. 4. Physically Inactive: Participants should have engaged in less than 10 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in the past week. 5. Internet Access: Participants must have access to the Internet for at least a few hours every day. 6. Medically Cleared to participate: Before enrollment, participants must obtain medical clearance to ensure they are fit to participate in the study.
Exclusion criteria
1. Participating in Another Research Project Involving Physical Activity: To avoid potential confounding variables that could affect the study's outcomes. 2. Planning to Move or Have Surgery in the Next 6 Months: Participants who plan to move or undergo surgery within the next six months may face disruptions that could affect their ability to complete the study. 3. Cognitive Impairment: Cognitive impairment can affect a participant's ability to understand and follow study protocols, which is crucial for informed consent and reliable data collection.
